Chasman's gouache portraits express the unique qualities of the people who have entered her life. Friends, family and acquaintances of all ages and cultural backgrounds are represented in these paintings. With a keen sense of observation, somewhat related to the painter Alice Neel, Chasman reaches beyond a simple narrative description of her subject. This Trustman exhibition offers a comprehensive view of Chasman's small-scale portrait paintings, which with wit and humor, sensitively communicate some insight into the lives of the people with whom she has formed relationships.
